Fabrics such as cashmere, tweed, curly fleece, and Prince of Wales check can create a warm and structured outerwear piece, while poplin can offer a lighter interpretation of the design.

Style Tips

Sew the MARLIE COAT in Prince of Wales check or tweed for a classic tailored-inspired outerwear look, or choose cashmere for a luxurious and timeless interpretation. Curly fleece can create a softer and more relaxed winter version, while poplin can be used for a lighter transitional coat.

The shawl collar, dropped shoulders, midi length, and open-front construction give MARLIE a sophisticated yet effortless character. Since the coat is designed without buttons, it can be worn naturally open or styled with a belt to create a more defined silhouette and a polished double-breasted effect.

Pair it with tailored trousers, wide-leg pants, jeans, dresses, or skirts. Wear it over casual everyday outfits or use it as an elegant finishing layer for more polished looks.

Important Note

Before cutting your final fabric, we recommend making a test garment (muslin) to check the fit and make any adjustments you may need. This is especially useful when working with a new size or fabric.

The MARLIE COAT is an intermediate sewing project (2/5) with an estimated sewing time of approximately 8–10 hours. The construction involves a fully lined coat, shawl collar, side seam pockets, sleeve assembly, facings, and professional hem finishing.

The lining construction requires additional sewing techniques compared with a simple unlined garment. Following the illustrated step-by-step instructions will help you achieve a clean and polished result.
